She graduated from the International Balkan University in 2011, completing her studies at the Faculty of Engineering in the Department of Industrial Engineering. Being among the very first graduates of the university represents not only an academic milestone for her but also a meaningful privilege that continues to shape her personal and professional journey. The International Balkan University became one of the most transformative chapters of her life—a place where her dream of pursuing higher education turned into reality, where new horizons opened, and where she began to discover her true capabilities.

When she first enrolled during the 2006–2007 academic year, the university was still in its foundational stages. Over the years, she witnessed firsthand its remarkable growth and evolution. Seeing how far the institution has progressed fills her with profound pride. Today, she sees a university enriched with a diverse student body, strengthened academic infrastructure, continuous investment in quality education, and a broad international outlook. The university’s commitment to shaping the leaders of the future continues to inspire her and her fellow alumni.

After completing her degree, the knowledge and skills she acquired served as a strong foundation for both her professional and personal development. As her career advanced, she increasingly recognized the significance of the analytical mindset, problem-solving abilities, and disciplined work habits she gained during her studies. Today, serving under the same institutional roof as the Head of the Student Affairs Department carries deep emotional meaning for her. Walking through the same hallways where she once envisioned her future, she now supports the academic journeys and aspirations of the next generation, contributing with pride to the ongoing growth of her university.

For her, the International Balkan University offered far more than a diploma. It gifted her a vision, a lifelong network, and the confidence to pursue her goals with determination. At this stage of her professional path, she feels the influence of her university in every achievement and decision she makes. With dedication and gratitude, she continues to work toward inspiring students with the same spirit, values, and drive that once helped shape her own future.
